A combined reward of $10,000 is available to those who can give officials information on a Thanksgiving Day theft from Hopkins Gun Shop in Milton, officials announced.

The award is a joint effort between The Bureau of Alcohol, Tabacco, Firearms and Explosives Baltimore Field Division and the National Shooting Sports Foundation (the trade association for the firearms industry). ATF is offering $5,000, which will be matched by NSSF as part of a national cooperative initiative between the groups. The money is for information that specifically leads to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible.

Officials from Delaware State Police troopers and officials from ATF Baltimore's Wilmington Field Office responded to the scene after the burglary was reported around 7 a.m. Thursday. They determined that an unidentified person wearing a mask forced their way into the shop in the early morning hours that day and then fled without being detected.

“We believe that these stolen firearms are destined to be used for criminal purposes," ATF Baltimore Special Agent in Charge Rob Cekada said in a release. "We are asking that any member of the public who may know something about this individual, this crime, or the whereabouts of these firearms comes forward."

ATF and Delaware State Police are continuing to work on the investigation jointly. Tips can be sent to ATF by calling 888-ATF-TIPS (888-283-8477) or emailing ATFTips@atf.gov. Anyone looking to send an anonymous tip can use the app 'reportit,' available at www.reportit.com.
